Thank you so much. Thats why I do them! I was so intimidated at first but after learning and figuring out more songs I was able to understand them and see they werent ad daunting as I had imagined! So these videos are there to help those that were in the same place as me!
Thank you! Those comments make me feel awesome. Im hoping to get it out soon but I do not wanna keep bothering the family as well as releasing it without them getting a piece of it.
This video is super helpful! Really wanted to put this in MIDI so i can shed this progression and try to be Gary Novak. Now to figure out that damn rhythm, lol
Congratulations again for the great work you are doing, don't stop making videos about Allan :) I'd like you to do tutorials on Where Is One and Checking Out, actually there are no lessons and tutorials around these two tracks on youtube, thanks for everything you do, see you soon :)
Hey man, your channel is awesome! I wanted to ask you, how did you learn the songs yourself? By ear or through sheet? I have a hard time trying to understand his chords from ear. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you! I use a whole bunch of methods. My ear, live video and also analyzing the audio spectrum to see what notes are spiking. From there I can usually fill out there rest.
What about synthaxe songs with a live version on electric guitar? Bo Peep comes to mind. And another song that maybe sounds more complex because of harmonizers, like Metal Fatigue, or my favorite "The Sixteen Men of Tain". Thanks again for the awesome work!!
Bo Peep is a great suggestion. I def would want to do that as its simple but the 'Verse' parts are so hard! Funny enough that verse also uses the same maj9 chord shape as in this song haha.
Hi when you say the chord type where your adding the extension is the chord a triad or seventh before the extension, I'm looking at getting into learning guitar for composing instead of playing the chords on bass , thanks for response.
Thanks for the question! The term 'extension' really means any note above the octave, like a 9, 11 and or 13. The seventh really isn't an extension in jazz. Maybe in more pop/rock guitar it is, but the 7th usually has some indication of its function (like a Dominant 7th). This is based off of piano and traditional harmonic standards. The problem is Allan does not think of them in that way, so the notes can be in any order. Making naming them an issue. For example lets say we have a chord with the notes F# G C E, calling the F# the root would make a really tough naming chord, where as it makes more sense as a C/F# or a C major add#11, but the #11 is the lowest voice, not an octave up as a traditional 'extension' should be. I hope this clears it up!
@@TurrigenousOfficial I agree. What the hell is he playing in the pretty chord melody section after the vocals end?? He plays it in the rubato intro on the road games album too. The live in Tokyo DVD shows what he's playing and the first chord looks ridiculous.
As a drummer I was hoping to be enlightened to the rhythm of this piece. It appears to go back and forth from 7 to 4 but the accenting is off the beat making it hard to get a grasp of. I did find this video interesting as to the chords used.
Thanks! I was more interested in the chords but I'm positive not only can you find a rhythmic transcription but someone might have done a video on it already. I think the first measure is 7/8 and the rest is some groups of 4 (2/4, 3/4, 4/4) etc and a lot of the chord stabs are a 16th note after the downbeats. Some of Allans rhythms/time signatures were very interpretive. I saw an interview where Steve Hunt asked Gary Husband how he was playing a tune and it turns out they were thinking of it completely differently!
@@TurrigenousOfficial and Allan would sometimes want notes extended meaning "no time" and somewhat impossible to write. I think 'White Line' was an instance. I really liked the chord demonstration here. You could really come up with some great ideas just playing a couple of these chords.
@@TurrigenousOfficial I actually charted it out in my own way, works great in 4/4 up until the bar before Gmin in where it just feels like a beat is dropped. Im really questioning Jeff berlins idea that it starts in 7, it leaving the groove completly displaced everytime you play it. IDK what you think?
A lot of the chords fall on "e" or a 16th note after the down beat, like the first chord. Live vids confirm this. With that said, Gary says its all in 4, where as Chad's own chart says otherwise 🤷♂️
I can't help but notice that you play 2nd block of 3 chords 3 times whereas it is only twice on that chord the 2nd time . So the 6th and 7th chord you play are fine but the 8th is when it drops down to the next chord...it's a drummer thing....otherwise thanks for keeping AH's mastery alive and visible.
Ah yes. When I was doing it I realized I missed that little detail but figured anything that the people watching can figure out on their own isn't as big of a deal to me as getting the exact chord voicing and other alternatives to play it. So unless its very important, to make the video shorter I cut out some of the rhythmic and repeat stuff. Thank you for the comment!
Man, as I've said before, these videos are a great service to mankind! Thanks a lot for taking your time to share this stuff with us!
My pleasure! Im enjoying seeing everyone go through them and learn some cool stuff :)
You really do a great job in lifting the veil on Allan's songs.

Once again, brilliant job, massive thanks. Whenever one of your videos pop up in my subscription list I cant wait to get stuck in. We need your book!
Thank you! Those comments make me feel awesome. Im hoping to get it out soon but I do not wanna keep bothering the family as well as releasing it without them getting a piece of it.
Wow! Been looking something like this for awhile!!
Thank you so much this is awesome
Thank you for watching!
You rule for these vids , seriously
Im doing my best. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much again,and WOW ! Those chords are are my favorite.Stay safe, great work!!! , and God bless you 🤗🐼❤️🌹💐✝️🎸 Psalm 103
Sensacional!!!
Awesome!

Awesome! The rhythm is tricky because the drummers interpret it differently, haha. But I'm pretty sure you can find a transcription online
Thank You!

I'd like you to do tutorials on Where Is One and Checking Out, actually there are no lessons and tutorials around these two tracks on youtube, thanks for everything you do, see you soon :)
Thank you!! :D Great suggestions!
Learning so much! any chance to do Material Real?
Sure! But its so incredibly hard physically. It has some crazy stretches in there.
Nice lesson & Nice MST 3k Shirt!
Thank you! My fav TV show ever :)

Thanks! Ive heard it before hah. Even transcribed most of the solo

I have. Its one of my favorites but im reluctant only because id say its top 3 hardest to play AH songs. It might even be #1!

@@agus6115 It IS a pain haha. That harmony is one of my favorites AH has ever written but MAN is it tough.

@@vintagemxer9165 Yup! Theres that middle part of White Line that was a nightmare to figure out the timing for. But also so easy to feel and play!

@@TurrigenousOfficial ...It's nothing serious of course. I love AH and just wanted to point it out [ call me an obsessive nut] cheers.
